Adrià Arnaus (72,68,70, E), the junior out of Barcelona, Spain, finished the highest among the A&M players in the individual standings. The Spaniard finished No. 22 after shooting an even par 70 during Sunday’s final round.

Aggie head coach JT Higgins talked to 12thman.com after the final round.
“Today was like a replay of the first two days of the tournament,” Higgins said. “We were playing pretty good golf and then coming down the stretch we hit some balls into the water and had some three putts. We didn’t finish strong and those mistakes have haunted us all season. Even though we have worked hard to improve in all of those areas, it’s just not sticking. Today was disappointing because even though there was only so far we could have climbed on the leaderboard, I think we could have gotten a couple spots higher.”
Next up for the Aggies are the 2015 NCAA Golf Championships. The men will travel to Bradenton, Florida where the tournament will take place from May 29 to June 3.
